Yusef Smith, a medical doctor and health expert, sheds light on the strengths and shortcomings of both worlds.

Join us in this new episode as we dive deep into the pervasive influence of social media like X on our lives and creative output, with David sharing his personal struggles and advocating for "care" over "carelessness" in content creation. This episode explores the essence of sincere writing in an age of constant digital consumption, critiquing modern online platforms for their recency bias and "junkyard" nature, and discussing the profound impact of AI on writing quality. The conversation also delves into fascinating philosophies behind large-scale architectural projects, the often-overlooked importance of "seasons" in creative work, and their personal practices for maintaining balance and genuine connection amidst the chaos of the internet age. If you're interested in the intersection of culture, technology, and sincere content creation, this episode offers invaluable insights and thought-provoking discussions for navigating our digital world.

Fresh off the launch of his self-published fiction debut, Husk, Nat gives us the inside scoop on the publishing world, the creative process, and why he's trading the non-fiction hustle for building fictional universes. Nat reflects on the importance of "friction" in a media landscape of short attention spans, the powerful reorientation he found in fatherhood, and the philosophical questions surrounding technology. This episode is a must-listen for aspiring authors, avid readers, and anyone interested in the future of storytelling and the enduring questions of the human experience.
